Ryan PurdyRyan Purdy 8 Comments

Video added at bottom of post ______ It was surreal… and televised. As we well know, Bob Filner is a Congressman and can do whatever he wants. Alas, the cruel hand of probability did not get the memo. Probability did not give The Entitled One that which he wanted. Unthinkable. Mayoral candidate Filner lost a coin toss. The coin toss …

Gabriella HoffmanGabriella Hoffman Leave a Comment

Taken from NewsReal Blog-September 1st, 2010: A study recently came out from my university, UC-San Diego, concluding that universities are not ridden by leftist bias. The study notes that campus characteristics—ranging from small liberal arts colleges to large universities—substantiate claims that campus conservatives gloat in their minority status and are quite comfortable with it.
